A 3am PST time is a bit unusual, there updates are usually closer to 7am PST, which is 10am EST for me. I think it centers around there normal work day hours... which would make sense. I was also on around that time as well, nothing happened and the servers are still up now. Though with low traffic. Maybe the time was a typo that got overlooked? It wouldn't be the first time.

Heroic characters, by the way, are supposedly scheduled to coincide with the 15th Anniversary, sometime around the middle of March. Mention was made that some of the Anniversary Events would begin in late February.

woot give me the free AA so I can focus on levels, gear and the adventure: I hope the instant level 85 toon follows suit soon.

That way I can make a level 85 rogue have shroud of stealth: to snoop around, retrieve corpse, explore zones, assassinate; to kill mobs, and escape to have an attempt to get away from the mob and not die.

This is merely a maintenance patch. According to Developer comments in the Dev Chat that took place on the 13th, the expected date for the patch with all the major changes is scheduled for Feb 19th. (99% chance according to Piestro)
